Does it Work for Them - Does it Work for Us? Evaluating a New Model of Team Practice
By Ingeborg Stiefel, Jennifer Cohen, Karen Moorhouse and Carren Hopkins. Volume 27 Issue Number 1. [PDF format - 259KB]This paper describes a change in team practice from a model targeted at individual families to a combined model, which supplements family therapy with group programs for children. Unacceptably long waiting lists for family counselling services, high levels of stress in clinicians, and consumer dissatisfaction motivated this change. Robust quantitative data and a qualitative analysis of the project confirm that the change has made a positive impact and the new treatment model deserves to be continued. The paper concludes that internal team changes are insufficient in a treatment context which requires more profound changes, beyond the boundaries of the team.
